Verdict

TALK ABOUT LAYLA (14) started at generous odds but defied the market on debut last start, making late ground to be beaten under a length over 1312m at this track. Only needs to exhibit a little natural improvement to be opening her account. DEVOTED TO YOU (8) was always behind the eight-ball after missing the start here last start. Fitter for two runs back from a spell. Draws ideally so with better gate manners today she can figure in the finish. PRIZE WITNESS (13) was a long way off the pace when they straightened last start then she made good late ground, an impressive enough debut over 1200m at Newcastle. Comes right into contention out to this more favourable journey. CARMINE (1) has been runner-up in both starts to date, with each of those maidens throwing up multiple subsequent winners. Draws the fence and the blinkers go on so expect him to be very popular with punters. TAKE A BREAK (5) is next pick with winkers on for the first time.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 12 at Tuncurry Mdn-Sw on September 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Andale Andale carrying 59kg at $4. Second-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Port Macquarie Super Mdn-Sw on September 28 over 1509m, neck behind The Warrior with 59kg at $2.35. Progressing well and will give this a shake with the blinkers going on.

At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Mdn on September 23 over 1312m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Satono Invader carrying 55.5kg at $17. Nicely placed over this slightly longer trip and can break through this time.

Third-up today. First-up raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Tuncurry Super Mdn on September 12 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Oh Deer carrying 54.5kg at $12.

Most recently 5th of 7 at Newcastle 4yo+ MDN-Sw on October 7 over 1500m, 8 len behind Buckenara with 57kg at $20. The race before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn on September 23 over 1312m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Satono Invader with 57kg at $8. Very fit mare who can play a role with a bit of luck from the wide gate.

On debut. Four-year-old mare by Toronado out of As I Do. At the most recent trial finished fourth on October 11 at Port Macquarie over 1000m. Unlikely to threaten at this stage.

Before that did the work up front then tired ran last of 8 at Tamworth Mdn on September 8 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Brutal Elegance with 55kg at $8.

Last start ran last of 9 at Newcastle 4yo+ Mdn on October 7 over 1250m, 10 len behind Lightning Glory with 55kg at $26. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at this track Mdn on September 23 over 1312m, slow going 2.25 len behind Satono Invader carrying 55.5kg at $11. Good enough to make amends.
